Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC ATX and 4790K with EK north and south bridge water block. EVGA 980Tis with Koolance blocks & back plates. Bitspower CPU 1150 block. All block tops and back plates painted the factory 1970 Gulf Racing blue. Bitspower pump cover was painted orange. Corsair Vengeance DDR (32GB) heat spreaders painted to match. I found most of my hardware as online deals, as I didn't need the latest and greatest hardware as I rarely have time for gaming anymore.

ey everybody! I finally finished my personal workstation. I'll primarily be doing video and photo editing. I got deals on the Gigabyte OC-FORCE motherboard, 4790K and two 980Tis from friends upgrading their hardware. The rest of the components were bought on sale or Ebay. I don't need the latest and greatest hardware as I rarely have time for gaming anymore. I've performed a lot of custom modifications to this PC build. The theme was inspired by legendary PORSCHE 917. The only Gulf Porsche 917 to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the one driven in Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" movie. If you're a motorsports enthusiast, I highly recommend seeing this movie for vintage racing footage alone. The story line stinks, but it's really about the event and cars. There is an HD version on YouTube. Many innovations in cinematography were created while filming this movie. Steve's production company welded brackets to the front frame work of the 917, so they could mount a camera to shoot him, and the other drivers, in the cockpit.
